WOOT Planning

We're starting our detailed WOOT planning for 2006-07. We learned a lot from our first year. We'll be adding a couple dates of test-taking strategy, widening the difficulty range of the classes, adding problem sets and de-emphasizing tests (though we will have a couple mock AIMEs and mock USAMO days), and including some more brief articles for exploration.
As discussed on the message board, we are considering not offering the Olympiad classes anymore. One option I've been thinking about is to combine bits and pieces of the Olympiad classes into an Olympiad Problem Series. Basically, now that we have WOOT, the Olympiad classes saw significantly lower enrollment. Furthermore, we're spread pretty thin here at AoPS with all we do. By halting the Olympiad classes, we can focus more of our energy on WOOT and producing more community materials on the site. More on these soon as we build them
